This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the contract expected to commence on 1st April 2020 and run for one year until 31st March 2021. The council aims to gauge market interest before determining the best procurement route, which may include a request for quotation process. Interested parties should note that the current contract involves approximately 270 care hours per week for 27 service users located in the South West of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) specialising in health and social care services. Suppliers with expertise in care provision and a willingness to adapt to new specifications are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract as the council seeks a new provider capable of delivering high-quality care in an extra care housing setting. Bidders will also need to consider the implications of Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations on the future procurement process. ## Notice This notice is to establish the level of market interest in a one year care contract at a extra care housing scheme in Bristol.The one year contract will begin on the 1st April 2020 or sooner by agreed by the current and new provider. Documents can be accessed at: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d8867849-a78e-e911-80f8-005056b64545 The level of interest shown in the opportunity will enable the council determine the procurement route for this contract. One option, amongst others, to be considered is an request for quote process. Those showing interest in the contract at an acceptable rate may be invited to take part in this process. The council has a number of care contracts in place across Bristol that end in 2021. At this time the intention is to re-commission all the ECH contracts to a new specification and with a new contract and this includes the contract that is the subject of this notice. The current specification, contract and TUPE information is attached in Procontract. It is the Council's view that TUPE may apply with respect to the services currently provided. Any future procurement will advise that bidders should however seek their own professional advice in order to form their views on the question of TUPE and should specify the view that they have taken together with the reasons for that view in their submission. The current total volume of care hours currently provided by the contract holder at the scheme is approximately 270hrs per week for 27 service users. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60edaed-a3e9-4587-91f7-5de7dc877401 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 31 Aug 2019 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2020 - 31 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £225,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | BRISTOL | | Post town | Bristol | | Postcode | BS3 9FS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK5 West of England | | ITL 3 | TLK51 Bristol, City of | | Local authority | Bristol, City of | | Electoral ward | Bedminster | | Westminster constituency | Bristol South | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 21 Jun 2019 at 13:27 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60edaed-a3e9-4587-91f7-5de7dc877401 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c60edaed-a3e9-4587-91f7-5de7dc877401 21st June 2019 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d8867849-a78e-e911-80f8-005056b64545 - https://www.bristol.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
